Japanese media Dospoweb disclosed that the core of the Japanese midfield Kamada Daichi showed unyielding fighting spirit after the 0-1 loss to Brazil. Talking about the upcoming World Cup journey, Kamata earth confidently pointed out that the Japanese team has the strength to compete with Germany and Spain.
Looking back at last season, Kamata Daiichi helped Eintracht Frankfurt win the UEFA Cup. In a match against Brazil, Japan's defense held off Brazilian star Neymar, allowing him to score only one penalty kick. Kamata Daiichi confessed at an online conference organized by the Japan Football Association on the 8th, "Before we played Brazil, I knew deep down that we were not a powerhouse, but I felt how strong we were when we faced Brazil."
Talking about our arch-rivals Germany and Spain in the World Cup, Kamata Daiichi said, "I'm currently following the UEFA Nations League, and these two teams have extraordinary strength, but compared to when they won the World Cup, they are not in the best shape right now, and have not yet reached their peaks. With our individual experience and strength, Japan is fully capable of competing with them."
In addition, Japan will face African powerhouse Ghana on June 10 at the Novia Stadium in Kobe. The match is also drawing a lot of attention from Korean fans, as the South Korean team will meet Ghana in the group stage of the World Cup. (edited by Water and Earth)
